Ooooh, Dad got the police fine notice for us doing climate civil disobedience in front of Melbourne’s Flinders Street Station on Saturday 9 December 2023. $385 for failure to obey a police direction to move on. We were all on our Brompton bike at the time (and it was raining) .

Are we the first chihuahuas to be arrested? We didn’t spend time in the lockup, they only took Dad’s details to issue the fine.

We’ll do it again because climate policies are still not at the ambition to avoid catastrophic climate change. Dad has read the science and has tried other avenues of change (and we 🐾 and chewed over the IPCC Global Warming at 1.5C report)

Dad wrote this blog post on reasons for why we were arrested for climate civil disobedience.

It’s Saturday and Dad has taken us to Poppy’s cafe for brunch. We were unaware he was taking this photo from inside.

Today on our way to Gilpin Park dog park in #Brunswick we saw this giant Pink Robin mural on a garage roller door. We couldn’t resist a selfie.

Such a glorious sunny winter day to go to the dog park. We also called in at Dad’s friends Jono and Reita in Fletcher st and we explored their back garden (and the local possum poo)
Dad got 23km cycling exercise.
